Del Giacco Blasts LILCO
Oyster Bay Democratip Town Supervisor candidate
Joseph Del Giacco has sharply criticized LILCO for "still
another sorry episode of incredible mismanagement" in its
efforts to iestorepowier.in the aftermath of Hurricane Gloria,
and has renewed'his call for public takeover of the giant
utility.
"It is clear to everyone that LILCO was not prepared for
the'storm," Del Giacco observed. "It should be equally clear
by now that LILCO simply does not have the kind of compe­tent
and responsible management that is essential if we are to
have reliable and economic electric service on Long Island."
"The only practical answer to LILCO's sorry record of
ineptitude at the expense of Long Island homeowners is the
public takeoverof LILCO's assets and function," the Demo­cratic
candidate continued. Del Giacco renewed his sugges­tion
that a Long Island Power Authority be established to
buy out LILCO and to take over the role of providing
electric power to Long Island. "As a member of the Nassau
County Board of Supervisors, I will vigorously pursue plans
for the establishment of such an Authority," Del Giacco
pFedged. "I will work diligently with other Nassau officials,
with Suffolk County officials and with the State Legislature
to make this solution to our electric woes a reality."
"Electric power is^too important a service to be left to the
vagaries of a private management that has proved time and
again that it is.incapable of coping with the needs of Long
Island ratepayer," Del Giacco concluded. "We must utilize
the good offices of local government to institute the kind of
strong, competent and efficient management of electric
energy thaf is long overdue."
The Central Blvd. Civic Association will
hold its first meeting on Wednesday,
October 1-6, 8 P.M. at the Bethpage Public
Library.
